Role overview

**Title: Applied AI Robotics Engineer

Location: Remote

Duration: 12+ months

Required Qualifications**

  • PhD in a relevant STEM field, or Master’s with equivalent industry experience in robotics, robot learning, or embodied AI.

  • Proven experience building and deploying machine learning models on robotic systems—including training, evaluation, and real-world execution or simulation.

  • Deep understanding of modern AI architectures (e.g., Transformers, diffusion models, VLM/VLAs, CNNs) with strong experience training models at scale.

  • Strong PyTorch implementation skills, including authoring custom modules, batching, debugging, and performance optimization.

  • Practical experience with ROS/ROS2 and integrating learned policies into manipulation or motion control workflows.

  • Demonstrated impact via robot learning publications, open-source contributions, or production robotics deployments.

What we're looking for

  • Experience developing robot learning systems for dexterous manipulation, multi-step task execution, or autonomous behaviors.

  • Expertise in robotics perception, including 3D understanding, force sensing, tactile feedback, multimodal fusion, or affordance modeling.

  • Familiarity with Isaac Sim, Mujoco, Gazebo, PyBullet, or custom simulators, and demonstrated ability to transfer policies to hardware.

  • Experience adapting foundation models (VLM/VLAs, diffusion, instruction-following agents) for embodied control tasks.

  • Track record of production-ready robotics systems, reproducible research artifacts, or deployments in physical environments.
